Been catching most of these critters on flat sets or blind setting 2 tracks. Do y’all have much luck with dirt holes? Some of this rock country I can’t even get a deep enough hole if I wanted to hard enough time getting a trap bedded solid in it. Using coyote turds I find as I drive the roads. Using gland lure only and red fox or smc urine. Seems like every time I use a bait I catch coons.

Found and set a natural coyote dig.
Just plopped a little wad if June's Widowmaker in the bottom.

A good gland lure and urine are king this time of the year. I prefer flat sets 10 to 1 over dirt holes, I will throw in a dirt hole as change up but they are more time consuming. Great job on that ol female, she was probably full of pups. Bringing in coyote scat from a mile or more away is about as good as it gets right now. Coyotes are really protective of their ladies and territory and will work a set hard with outsiders scat.

Concerning bait & coons, I had a coon dig out 2 sets that were gland lure only, last night. Both flat sets. Remade them today.

99% of my dig outs are coons and possums. Those suckers can really mess a set up.

There’s no coon proof set. That’s another reason I like flat sets, when the coon gets your lure, you just add more.

No coyotes yet, with 16 sets out,
but I got a couple of the diggers.
Both boars, in dogproofs.

Going to start setting our pipeline on the back side of our lease. There’s always been a lot of coyote activity back here. 4 miles long. Probably only set the first two as the last part gets pretty wet.

Brute Killer it looks like your drill pipe drags are working like a champ

Yeah, they can't really move them except maybe spin them in a circle. They may possibly be a visual attractive, too. I don't know.

Well I am here to report a super stake on a snare will “not” hold a 200 lb boar. He has a free necklace now.

Misses and a snap

This cow vertebra was buried, top flush with the ground and visible, with a cotton ball with lure stuffed in the spinal cord hole.

Nice size female #17 on modified pipe dream set. This one was in heat as well. Those no bs k9 extremes are a coyote hammer !

[hogmess]

I have a dozen of those K9 extremes and have never even put them in the ground. I really like the mb450 and 550s and I use a lot of Bridger dogless #3s
